G1JUFTKR2E12,13,22,23,32,33 observe the GRS in conjunction with the AWG GRS campaign. The UVS objective is to supplement the campaign with measurements of the spectral (i.e., compositional) features of the GRS and its vecinity. (RTS only) 2) Auroral studies: 3 observations investigate Jovian auroral processes. a) G1JUEWMAPS01 is an LPW recorded, 1/2 hour observation of the southern auroral region, including the footprint of the Io fluxtube. Precipitating electron energies, as they impact the upper atmosphere hydrogen, will be derived. This observation is planned in collaboration with near-simultaneous HST Jovian auroral observations by John Clarke of Univ. of Michigan. b) G1JUAURMAP01, also in a campaign with HST observations, will observe the southern auroral region asymmetries between dayside and nightside aurorae. (RTS only) c) G1JUFIXTMD01 will observe northern auroral activity in a unique look at precipitating electron energies as they vary with longitude during 1 full Jupiter day (10 hours). (RTS only) 3) Upper atmosphere and global energy studies: 2 observations. G1JUFIXLON01 and G1JUDRKMAP01 both measure the characteristics of the upper atmosphere hydrogen on the darkside of the planet (i.e., without the effects of solar illumination) in order to develop a global map of equatorial hydrogen distribution during the mission for global energy budget studies. (RTS only) 4) calibration: 2 observations: a) G1HUSTRCAL01 will perform a UVS calibration on the star delta-Scorpii as one of two calibrations during the mission (also to be observed in C9). (RTS only) b) G1JURADMON01 is an LPW recorded, 1 RIM observation that will perform a radiation monitor test at 11 Rj. These data will be compared to data collected from the sky background just off the star in G1HUSTRCAL01 to quantify radiation effects upon the instrument far and close to Jupiter.
